Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Oct 2022)

Catherine Murphy: In 2021, all revenue generated by bus advertising was taken over by the NTA. Dublin Bus raised approximately €1.6 million in advertising revenue in 2020. I presume this figure will not differ hugely, given only so much advertising space is available. A division within CIÉ manages the contract on behalf of the NTA. It is doing the work, but the money is being taken by the NTA....

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Oct 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I presume that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is kept in the loop on this. Have the Department officials been provided with the business case for the proposed project? Has the external assurance process, required under the public spending code, happened? I think they are called decision gates and it would be quite useful to know what they are. Are we likely to see, for...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Oct 2022)

Catherine Murphy: All that money was spent so then you are put in a position of no alternative. This is a separate thing entirely. The question is whether the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has received the business case for the project.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Oct 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I would have thought that we set our own agenda. I found the last experience with that Department frustrating because every time we asked questions we were told they were for the Department of Transport or we needed to talk to the Department of Health or some other Department. It was nearly impossible to get responses. I think we decided it for a particular purpose in order to look at...

Catherine Murphy: We had not finished correspondence, had we?

Catherine Murphy: I have a piece of correspondence in and thought I had flagged another one.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Oct 2022)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Oct 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I do. It is point 4. Members might remember that the Corporate Enforcement Authority, CEA, was to be set up on 1 January this year to replace the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, ODCE. One big impediment to the effective running of the ODCE was that there was an inadequate number of gardaí assigned to it. The director had come out and been critical of that. A...

Catherine Murphy: It was supposed to be 16 from day one.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Oct 2022)

Catherine Murphy: Yes. This is Maynooth University but could equally relate to any of the universities where additional resources are sought from students in relation to student services. I welcome where these are treated separately. There were referendums in Maynooth to collect an additional amount going back to the 1990s. The money was to be borrowed from the European Investment Bank and then paid back...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Oct 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I completely agree with writing to the university and to the president of the college, which would be appropriate, but there is another view on this because the students are not at all happy with how the thing has been portrayed. I may well talk to them, as the Chairman may also do. A key condition attached to the 1999 levy referendum was that if any of the conditions were broken, the...
